The U.S. cannabis industry is still in its infancy, even though states began engaging with legalization in one form or another in the late 1990s. Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry. Some want to directly own licensed businesses, while others prefer to keep the industry at an arm’s length and merely profit from it.

In the wee hours of 2019, a team of Italian researchers reported on an astounding discovery; a new cannabinoid was found for the very first time in the cannabis plant – THCP. Tetrahydrocannabiphorol (THCP) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid that was first found (in very small amounts) in a strain of Italian medical cannabis known as FM2. This THC-like cannabinoid was tested in rodents and found to be at least twice as potent as THC, with some laboratory tests suggesting as much as 30 times gre
